• Marunouchi Line: Shin-otsuka ⇄ Korakuen

Myōgadani Station opened on 20 January 1954 with the inaugural Marunouchi Line section between Ikebukuro and Ochanomizu. The provisional name during planning was "Shimizu-dani" after a neighbouring district, but petitioning by local residents and Takushoku University secured the present name, which also commemorates the Myōgadani valley that was filled in for the adjacent Koishikawa rolling-stock depot. Platforms were extended in 1960 to accommodate six-car trains. A major rebuild from March 1993 to May 1998 added the Myōgadani-eki MF Building, the operator's eighth station-property project, widened the platforms, and lifted the station from its previous two-storey reinforced-concrete depot. The stop passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 and accepted PASMO from 18 March 2007.

Myōgadani is the Marunouchi Line's sole station that still uses a buzzer rather than a departure melody, after the briefly trialled music was withdrawn in 2009 following complaints from neighbouring residents.
